Nacho Night

Nacho night was a big hit in my opinion.

Everyone was told to bring Tortilla chips, I'd say we faired nicely, especially since there are more than what's in this photo.  Now we have chips for a while.

Liss brought Cheese dip that had white cheese in it.

Angela brought Spinach Artichoke Dip.  Yum!

Ah, this was my lovely creation.  I didn't bring any home.

Chicken toppings

Hamburger toppings

Black Olives

Fajita meat

Jalapenos

Sour Cream

And regular plain nacho cheese

Wonder what the hours are??

Memaw brought Cherry Cobbler.  Yum!  She kept apologizing if it wasn't sweet enough and I kept giving her fits about putting down my cherry tree :)

And it cracked me up where a chip fell (look under the crockpot lid)

And it was a lovely, chilly, rainy night.

Down Home Macaroni Lasagna

Interested yet? This is something we make at our house quite often.  It has Mac & Cheese & hamburger & cheese and pasta sauce, I mean how can you go wrong?

Ingredients:
Mac & cheese & all the stuff needed to make it. (from scratch or out of a box, your choice)
Spaghetti Sauce (out of a jar or homemade, again, your choice)
Cheese
Hamburger

Start the water to boiling for your macaroni noodles. Once boiling, add the noodles.

In the meantime brown up your hamburger in another pan.  You can add your favorite seasonings or add-ons (such as onion, black olives, mushrooms, whatever suits your fancy!).  Then dump your spaghetti sauce in with the hamburger and let them simmer while your waiting on your Mac & Cheese to finish up.

I cheated, I used boxed mac & cheese, when you're in a hurry, it was the fast way to handle it.  So stir in the powdered cheese mix and the butter.

Now dump the mac & cheese into the meat/sauce and mix.

Generally we add some cheese right into the mixture to make it cheesier.

Next top it with more cheese.  You can use whatever you'd like, we've used fiesta blend, we've used mozzarella, just whatever you prefer.  mmmm cheese. We wound up using 2 cups of shredded cheese. Use as much or as little as you desire.

Then place this in a 350 degree oven for 15 minutes.  And you're good to go!

Mmmmm eat & enjoy!
